:ONEY MARKETI AND COMMERCIAT4 INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK. aactivity prevails in discount circles, where iness is almost entirely suspended. The preva. t idea that now the position of the Bank of Eng has been further strengthened by a large daily az of gold, and that the authorities, having due Pad to their own interest, must reduce their rate morrow, is alone the cause of the quietude expe. 'iced in the Money Market. The charges are so le, and so greatly below the official minimum, .t it is irnposible to quote any figure as represent tLe average term for the negooiation of com !cial bills. me failure of Messrs D.lrby and Co., wholesale )core, of Little Tower-street, has been announced. e debts are estimated at about £BO,OOO, and the hidation, it is supposed, will prove favourable. e accountants are Messrs Hart, Brothers, and tyles, who have been engaged to prepare a state• !nt for the creditors. A further sum of £54,000 in gold was taken into Bank yesterday. There was no material alteration in the foreign changes yesterday afternoon.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The 9th of November from time immemorial has been a great day for the city of London, notwithstanding that it obstructs business to a very great extent. Still the Lord Mayor's show is looked upon as one of the institutions of the country, and to speak against it; is little less than treason; This morning, big with the fate of turtles, opened bright and brilliant upon the good and loyal city ; civic functionaries and gaudily attired footmen were heard to exchange mutual congratulations upon being able to ex hibit all their finery with the advantage of a November sun. Long before the city had begun to wear its wonted bustle and activity, the carpenter's hammer was sending forth its noisy note of preparations, and throughout the line of procession rickotty windows were being secured , dusty banners unfurled, and stout barriers erected to stop the progress of intrusive vehicles. The Mansion House was of course the scene of much commotion, and during the whole of the morning policemen, city marshals, and lively flunkeys, with huge bunches of flowers and unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a dreadful state of excitement, whilst at the various ward halls, beadles, whose shabby-genteel coats were con cealed beneath heavy cloaks trimmed with gold lace, were furbishing up their wands of office and inspecting the various banner bearers who were to take part in the all- important pageant. At an early hour the new Lord Mayor was duly installed in his civic mansion, and his . Lordship commenced the duties and ceremonies of the day by putting his cook's abilities to the test and entertaining his friends and officers of the household at a sumptuous breakfast. The well-known venerable coach, drawn by six high spirited steeds, and caparisoned in massive crimson trap pings, was then ordered to the door, and his Lordship attired in his robes of office, decorated with the gold chain, and attended by his Chaplain, the Recorder, the Sword and Mace Bearer, entered the antiquated vehicle and drove off to Guildhall, followed by the Sheriffs. Here fur the first time was Alderman Hale welcomed and cheered as Lord Mayor of London, and having partaken of luncheon—eating and drinking forming the principal and certainly the most agreeable feature in the cere mony—his Lordship announced it to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be arranged in the order in which it was to move. Accordingly the City Marshal set to work, and with the aid of a body of policemen, after some difficulty, succeeded in his task. The steeds of the ancient knights in brass and steel gave to the civil guar.- diens of the peace some trouble ; but having somewhat awkwardly, it must be admitted, vaulted into their saddles, and couched their lances, all was declared to be in readi ness, and the procession then moved from Guildhall yard in the following order : Drums and Fifes of the Royal London Militia Boys of the Marine Society, with Banners Three Trumpeters Band of the Royal Sociaty for the Protection of Life from Fire Watermen, bearing the Banners of the following Livery Companies of the City of London : Spectacle-makers Loriners Plasterers Coopers Innholdere Painter Stainers Carpenters Saddlers Girdlers Wax Chandlers Salters Goldsmiths Fishmongers Grocers Band of the 2d London Rifle Volunteer Brigade Banner of the Arms of the Company of Tallow Chandlers 1. 7 , Banner of the Arms of the late Mr Alderman Pi f Humphery • Banner of the Arms of the late Mr Alderman Farncomb c 3 Banner of the firms of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor te • Banner of the Arms of the City of London . 2 . The Beadle of the Company, bearing his Staff f i t n The Clerk of the Company, in his Chariot • The Members of the Court of Assistants, in their - 0 Ca Carriages The Wardens of the Company, in their Carriages , • The Master of the Company, in his Chariot, attended s t ., by his Chaplain 4 : 4 • Watermcn bearing the following banners : The Royal Standard The Union Jack. The Banner of Scotland. Six Streamers of the City Arms. The Banner of England. The Banner of Ireland Banner of the City of London Band of the Grenadier Guards Description of the Armour worn by the Knights and Esquires in the Procession : FIRST KNIOUT, In a plain cap-a-pie suit of armour of the early part of the 17th century, attended by Two Esquires, one a swordsman in a suit of black and white armour, the other in a demi- lance suit given of the prosperous career of the Lord Mayor, and ho doubted not that during the year of office his lordship would continue to deserve the good opinion of his fellow citizens. To the late Lord Mayor his lordship begged to offer his congratulations. After hav ing served his term of office he was about to retire into comparative privacy, but during the whole time he had. displayed everything that could belong to a patriotic citizen and upright magistrate. His Lordship further remarked that he felt assured that although ceasing to occupy a very important position he would still discharge more public duties that remained to him, and that he would continue to deserve the approbation and meet with the sympathy in the discharge of those which he had hitherto experienced Aldermen LA.IVRENCE bowed his acknowledgments. The LORD MAYOR was then sworn. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render into her Msjesty a full account :of the receipts on account :of the Crown during his mayoralty, and to "behave himself properly," according to the old style of the oath, whilst he did so. The other formalities having been gone through, the Recorder invited the judges to the banquet at the Guddhall this evening. Tha Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder and the other officers of the City then withdrew, and pass ing through the other courts, the Lord Mayor, through the Recorder, invited the judges presiding to the banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order as coming. The Ballot Society.—Dr. Cumming and the Great Millenium. At the Sheriffs' Court yesterday, in the ease of Oliver v. Bontems, which has been referred to Mr Braden, registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, Mr Buchanan, on the part of defendant, who is the honorary secretary to the Ballot Society, applied to have the award of the abitrator made an order of court. His Honour (Mr Commissioner Kerr)--Do you apply 'ar costs ? Mr Buchanan—Oh, no. You Honour will remember that the plainiiff ought to recover for services alleged to have been rendered to the Ballot Society, but it was proved that the defendant never gave any authority. The arbi trator found in favour of the the defendant on every gronnd. His Honour—Do you apply for the costs of the arbi tration ? Mr Buchanan—There are not any. His Honour—That is very surprising. Mr Buchanan—The plaintiff is a poor man, and Mr Wrandon declined to charge him anything. Mr Bontems declines to ask for any costs, and I have waived my fee. His Honour—All this is very extraordinary. You must not let the public know of this or it will create quite a sen sation. (A laugh.) Mr Buchanan—l may add something more, and that is that Mr Bontems has instructed me to give plaintiff L 3 :as a present to him. His Honour—Arbitrators declining their costs and attor nies waivirg their fees I If this gets to the ears of Dr Cumming he will fancy that the great millenium is at hand. (Great laughter.) Mr Buchanan—Oh I it must not be taken as a precedent. Mr Osgood (registrar)—The best plan will be to make the order for defendant without costs. Mr Buchanan—Yes. I think that will do. The order was then made as agreed. LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE F. G. LEE, This bankrupt was described as of Fit zroy -street, Fitzroy• square, clerk in holy orders, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge.

Mr Evans, for the assignees, read the evidence given on a flrmer occasion. He said that the principal creditor re sided in Scotland, and the bankrupt had property in Eng land. As to the property held by the creditors, consisting of a church, he was afraid that the bankrupt was too san guine as to its value, and it would be satisfactory if it rea lised one-half the amount. The bankrupt had built the church partly from his own funds and partly from money borrowed, and all the difficulty arose from the bishop for some reason hYving refused to consecrate the church. The bankrupt, in examination, now made claims for sti pend alleged to be due from the churchwardens, but he did not conceive he had any legal document by which he could recover it. There were other points on which ho had doubts as to his rights. His Honour said they better all be inserted in the ac counts, and see if anything would result to the creditors. Mr Evans did not offer any opposition, as there was no ground for imputing anything against the bankrupt than having been over• sanguine. His Honour concurred, and said the bankrupt was entitled to his discharge. but did not recollect striking any one. He lost all his money on Saturday night. Mr Paget said the prisoner was a drunken, violent, and disorderly man, who saw a disturbance last night, and, without provocation, struck a man in a brutal manner and injured his lips. Ho sentenced the prisoner to be impri• Boned 11 days and kept to hard labour. The Convict Muller. Up to last evening Franz Muller, now under sentence of death in Newgate, had shown no inclination to confess the crime of which he has been convietcd.:Knowing, as there is reason to believe he does, though the fact has been care fully concealed from him by the prison authorities, that efforts are being made by the German Society to procure a commutation of the sentence, his reserve occasions no surprise. The impression among the authorities is that, if he confers at all, it will not be until the very last. Yes• terday, again, Mr Sheriff Be ley paid him a visit, as did also the Rev. Mr Waibaum, the minister of the German Chapel, in St. James's, who hes spent some time wi:h him daily since his conviction. The convict also attended the service in the chapel. He has always shown a disposition to profit by the religious consolation which has been offered him since he received seuteree, but in other respects he has been reserved, cold, and unimpressionable, without in the least, however, being disrespectful to those about him. As early as 7 o'clock yesterday morning the members of the German Legal Protection Society are said to have had a meeting at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury-square, for the purpose of settling the draught of the memorial they mean to pre sent to the Home Secretary. Before separating the memos:, I was unanimously adopted, and they resolved to forward it to Sir George Grey on Wednesday morning. In the meantime a Special Committee of the Society are publishing an elaborate report, describing minutely the whole of the steps they have taken from first to last to clear up what they regard as the mystery attending the murder, and particularly to ascertain the movements of the prisoner about the time of its commission, and how he came into possession of the watch and chain of Mr Briggs. It is, in fact, the whole story of the defence told over again, and embodying besides statements which were not legally ad missible in evidence on the trial, but which they regard as throwing additional light upon the matter, and justifying the course they took in defending him. Adverting to the aliii , they say— " The distance from Stanley Cottage was measured, and it was ascertained that, taking into consideration all circum stances—as for instance, the lameness of Muller—it would take 20 to 25 minutes to walk from the house to Camberwell gate. The journey by omnibus to King William-street, after riding at different times and in different omni buses, was found to take 20 to 30 minutes. Therefore, supposing the statements of the Joneses and of Muller in New York to be true, Muller, after having left Stanley Cottage at half-past 9 o'clock, could not have been in King William-street before 10 minutes or a quarter past 10. con sequently could not possibly have been the perpetrator of abettor of the murder in the railway carriage at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock." They relate the following as the account given by Muller himself to a member of their body and to Mr Beard, their solicitor, at the Bow-street police-station on the same evening he arrived in London from New York : " Atter the exchange of some kind words and a solemn exhortation to adhere strictly to the truth, Muller declared that on Saturday evening the Bth of July he had left his friend Haifa at Mr Repscb.'s house, where he had had tea, and had taken an omnibus at the corner of Fenchurch• street and Gracechurch-street for Camberwell. He had been lame at the time in consequence of his having been run over on the Thursday, and therefore wore a red carpet slip per on his right foot. Near the gate he had left the omnibus to walk to a house in George-street, Camberwell, New-road, He declined to give the address of the house. On coming back ho had had a glass of ale at a publio house on the left side. before coining to the gate, from the Elephant and Castle, and had entered into conversation with the bar keeper. The house was about 200 yards from the toll-gate, and could be recognised by its standing for ward and being bounded by two streets. There always were shaeblaek boys in front of it. The bar-keeper was a young man of average size, with dark hair, whis kers, and a beard on his chin. By this description it must be easy to recognise him. After half-past 10, to his belief, he had left Camberwell-gate in an orange omnibus, had ridden to the Monument in King William-street, and walked from there to the Bank, in order to take his omni bus from Threadneele-street to Hackney. As it already had left, he had walked home to Old Ford-road, and reached it about half-past 11, His landlady and the other lodgers had already gone to bed. On his way home he did not meet with any friend or acquaintance, nor did he call anywhere, The omnibus from Camberwell to King William at., con tained besides him four persons—an old gentleman with dark hair and dark whiskers, two young ladies, and a little girl. The conductor was of average height, wore a hat and a long coat which had no buttons at the Lack. His face was small, dark, and pock-marked ; he wore a white and black chequered neckerchief. When he entered the omnibus, a brown dog, a hich was flying at a boy in the street opposite the publichouse, caused a crowd." On the all-important subject of the hat, proved at the trial to have been that of Mr Biiggs, the committee says : " The hat which had been found in his possession at New York he had bought, between May 14 and 20, at the shop of Mr Digance, for 14s 6d. He remembered the occasion very well, because at the same time, as he used to do at Whitsun tide, he had bought a new suit. The two Repsches must remember this, as they had seen him in his new suit. He left the hat Mathews had bought for hire at the shop. The lining of this hat was dark and had blue stripes." In connection with this story, it should be borne in mind that Mr Digance's ehopman, of whom the prisoner must have bought the .hat, it he bought it there at all, seeing that Mr Digance never sold him a hat, and that he has only one shopman, a person who has been with him for the last 12 years, has been confronted with the prisoner in his cell since his conviction, in the presence of Mr Beard, anct that on the one hand Muller failed to recognise him, and on the other the shopman said he had no recollection of having seen him before. The committee proceed to say:— '~ With regard to the watch and chain, Muller declared he had left the house of Mr Repsch at about ten minutes to 8, had gone to Mr Hodgkinson to see Haffa, had not found him (vide the statements of Haffa and Mr Hodgkinson's foreman), and had then immediately gone towards the Lon eon Docks in order to enquire about the time of sailing, and if possible to take his ticket at the same time. He arrived at the docks at half-past 8. Ho found a German porter in the office near the ship Victoria, bnt as he could not get his ticket he was about to leave the docks again. About 100 yards from the office, in the passage to the warehouses, a pedlar offered him a watch and chain for sale. He held these things in his hand, and took some rings and chains and another watch from his coat pocket. The pedlar was of middle height, had a small face with prominent cheek. bones, brown whiskers, and close-shaved akin; ho had a small cut or scar on his lip, and wore a Melton morning coat. When the things were offered, to him for £6 he had only £4 and three half-crowns in his pocket. The seller of the things refused to accept £4, and Muller went on, but came back on the second thought that the watch and chain must be worth more, because the £1 were refused by the ped!er, and might make a good bargain, ana offered three half-crowns-7s 6d—more. The pealar took the offer. While on his way home, and calculating how by the sale or pawning of the things bought he might make a profit so as to be able to redeem his own watch and chain, ' which he had pawned some weeks ego its Whitechapel, and of the value of which—d -'9—he wars fully aware, he \yea disturbed by the thought that the things bought might be not real gold or valueless. He at once determined to ga to Mr Death's in Cheapeide, and by changing the chain as certain its value and that of the watch." The words in italics are so put bp the committee. " After Muller had spent his money in purchasing the watch and chain, he resolved to pawn the chain he had es. ehangcd. Ile got LI 10a in the Minories, and sold the ticket to his friend Haffa for 12s. Thus ho became possessed of £2 2s. From a mark he thought the watch ho bought at the docks a valueble one, and determined to keep it. With the £2 he redeemed his own watch which he had pawned at the Minories, and asked his friend for the loan of £l, in order to redeem the chain also, and than on Wednesday morning pawn both together at the Wes L-end for a higher price. He received £4 in Princes-street, and sold the ticket, as proved, to Glass for LI 58. The one pound lent - wet deducted. Besidee, ho received from Mr Repsch, who owed him LI 2s, 14s; from Mr Mathews, 3s 6d; for a coat he pawned, 6s. With the money thus acquired he bought on Wednesday his passage-ticket for £4, a mattress for 7s 6 d, and paid is porterage. The 12s found upcn him at New York he got by the sale of a coat and a pair of trousers. When asked why, at his arrest at New York, he had told a lie about the watch, he declared that nothing but the sur prise and fright of the moment had induced him to do so. With regard to the hat, ho said Inspector Clarke must be mistaken, as the minutes of his examination at New York could easily prove; only with regard to the watch he had told an untruth." '1 hese are the more material parts of a document extend ing over three columns of an ordinary newspaper, and which is described as " Part first," the reel being to follow. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Horccoopathio practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being themost healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt dined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied id the crude state or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, flomceopathie Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his at.ention to this subject, and at length ho succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pule in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes thro.lgh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Ilassall, in his wo.k "Adulteration of Food," says—". ocoa con airs a great variety of important nutritive principles every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the 1.04." Again: "As a nutri tive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined jib., 41b., and 11b. labelled packets, a d sold by grocers, confectioners, and chemists. [A.DyT.] IN RE SMITH. This bankrupt was a baker at Hackney, and this was a meet ing for last examination and discharge. Mr W. R. Buchanan did not oppose for the assignees, but Mr Brougb, for several creditors, asked for a goods, cash, and deficiency account, as the debts amounted to £272 to unsecured creditors, and the whole of his property had been made over to other creditors, but for valuable consideration. An adjournment was accordingly ordered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day. MARLBOROUGH.STREET.

UPON STRANGERS.—CharIes East, a powerful fellow, was brought before Mr Arnold charged with three most unprovoked assaults upon different persons. William Aldridge, a resp ec t a bl e -l o oking young man, said that he and a friend went last -night i n t o th e Prince of wales' Tavern, Exet er . street, Chelsea, to ge t some refresh ment. Defendant, another man and a woman, were also in the house, and one of them dropped a key on the floor. Complainant seeing the key on the ground, and thinking that he might have dropped it, felt in his pocket, and finding his own safe, remarked aloud that it was singular the two keys were so much alike, He had no sooner done so than d e fendant or the other man seized h i m , an d h e ld a h an d ov er his eyes, and when h e endeavoured t o remove thi s h e was struck by the defendant violently and followeA with great fury, when he endeavoured to escape. But for the ill treated. Would have been most seriously i n t e rference of others, James Collins, an artisan perfect ly unconnected with either party, said he was merely passing at the time, and without an y provocation was attacked and struck twice by the defendant. William Gocdyer said he Was with Aldridge, and con. firmed his statement as to the beginning of the attack. There was nothing whatever done to provoke the defendant, and when he attacked Aldridge witness mEraly endeavoured Arneld_llad nothing whateve r occurred except w h at yed.f about uhtisthieury.

In answer to questions by the magistrate, the com plainant said be did not ill use the boy. lie only threatened him and broke his stick, Mr Paget—By ill-using the complainant.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. Tho oivio party took a standing position in front of the bench reserved for the Queen's counsel. The RECORDER, in addressing the court, said he had the honour to introduce to their lordships the Right Hon. Warren Stormes Hale, who had been selected by his fellow citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and her:gracious Majesty:ratified the choice of the citizens. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give a short history of the career of the new Lord Mayor, stating that he had for many years carried on business in the City of London, during which time he had wcn the good opinion of his fellow citzeus. He had for a con siderable time been their representative in the Court of Common Council, and on the death of the alderman of his ward (Coleman-street) he was unanimously elected to fill the vacant office. Ho had) served the office of sheriff, and at the termination of his year of office received a vote from the livery, and he felt assured that he would not be found wanting at the post of honour to which he had been elected, The learned gentleman having also intimated that the late Lord Mayor, who had so well fulfilled his office during the past year, was in attendance, concluded by presenting the new Lord Mayor in the usual form to take the oath. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in reply, said he had to con gratulate the Lord Mayor on having attained that honour which the learned Recorder had expatiated on in his address to the Court. He appeared there as the First Magistrate of the greatest city in the empire, to claim cer tain rights which belonged to the great city of which he was the chief authority. He (the Lord Chief Baron) did not look upon the present as an idle ceremony, as it was in reality a proceeding to claim and to retain those privileges which had existed from time immemorial. He rejoiced to hear the account the learned Recorder had SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—TVESDAY, Seven events, five of which, we are sorry to say, were over the T.Y.C., are quite enough at this time of year, and the Hurdle Race commenced the proceedings at 12,30. I 'as rather a hollow vicl ory for Puss, the favourite, Morocco and Stanton being soon out of it. Provisor landed the rather heavy odds on him in the Handicap Plate easily, as did Bessy in the Lancashire Stakes ; but the latter, not having carried extra weight, was disqualified, and the stakes awarded to Hartleap. The Knowsley Nursery always furnishes a large field, and 23 on this occasion faced the starter, who despatched them with lees than the usual delay. The favourite, Lion —a flee Windhound colt, who ran the Duko very closely at York—had the best of it from the first ; though the Imogene filly managed to get within a head of him at the post, and would probably have passed him in another stride or two. The Flying lEndicap is the other feature of the first day, and resulted this year in the defeat of a very warm f - vourite, Coup d'Etat. who hal a little the warst of the start, Leing soon out of it; and an outsider, Pupil, won rat her cleverly.

They ran thus to the distance, where Purity and Viola attempted to get up on the inside, but were dis appointed by Lion hanging slightly to the left, and he was immediately after joined by the Imogene filly, Cedric and Lozenge wide on the right, the four finishing a fine race home, the favourite holding his own to the end, and win ning cleverly by a length, Mr Rigby's filly defeating C‘d ric by a head, who was a like distance in advance of Lo zenge.

SUPPOSED MURDER AT BOULOONE.—BOULOGNE SUR-MER, Nov. 7.—About 7 o'clock this morning, as a workman employed in the erection of a new bridg across the river Lianne, for the use of the Boulogne and Calais Railway. was pursuing his avocation, ho became aware of the body of a child lying in the bed of the river close to the temporary bridge, The water was at this time very low and clear, He immediately called some of his fellow workmen to his assistance, and got the body out on the bank, whence it was transported, under the care of the police, to the deadhouse of the Hospital of St. Louis, where it was left for identification. About twelve o'clock at noon the body of another child was discovered in the pool of water in the Arriere Port, and immediately withdrawn thence, and also taken to the deadhouse at the hospital. On the body being placed alongside the other previously brought in it was evident that they were brothers. There were no external marks ef violence visible on either of the bodies. The eldest appears to be between eight and nine years:of age, 3ft. 3in. high, fair, complexion, red hair, gray eyes, straight nose, small welt-formed mouth; does not appear to have much colour in the cheeks. He had on a black jacket, dark gray trousers, a white calico shirt, with a narrow lilac and pick stripe alternately, a purple and black plaid flannel shirt underneath, Magenta striped, white woollen stockings, shoes much worn, brown silk cravat, brown woollen gloves with red cuffs, and a black patent leathern belt, with a brass buckle, bearing the Austra lian coat of arms, with the motto, "Advance Australia." The younger child appears to be between four and five years of ago, is a good-looking round-featured boy, and has had rosy cheeks ; he is 2ft. 9in, high, light curly hair, blue eyes, straight nose, smali well-formed mouth, forehead fair and well developed. He had on a white diaper pinafore, light blue and white merino petticoat with two broad brown flounce stripes, a check linen under - s tettleoat, a flannel ditto with two tucks, white calico trousers with pearl edging, red socks, and newly repaired shoes, lilac woollen mitten gloves, with black cuff, and a reddish brown overjacket. There are no peculiar marks on the clothes. The caps or hats have not been found as yet. The report of the finding of the children was soon bruited about, and the police were very active in making inquiries into the probable cause of death. In a very abort time it was ascertained that a man named Leduc, who has lately resided in London, and who is well known in Boulogne, having a wife residing in the Rue de Bras d'Or, arrived in the Albert Edward from Folkestone at 4.30 p.m. yesterday (Sunday), and on leaving the packet went into the passengers' waiting-room under the Chambre de Commerce with two little boys and hi s b aggage , cons i s t. ing of a good hatbox, a neatly new brown leathern portman teau cordel with a rope, and a carpetbag of a green ground and dark brown stripe. The party stayed in the room warm ing themselves by the fire, and Leduc conversed freely with the Customhouse officers who were there. He told them that he was going to place the children at a school about eight leagues from Boulogne. He left the Customhouse with the children abcut 7 o'clock in the evening, and was no more seen until late in the night, when he went to visit his wife in the Rue de Bras d'Or, and slept there all night, It is supposed that he loft fur Euglaud by the Folkestone boat at 230 p.m, to-day (Monday), or he may have gene to Calais, or indeed elsewhere. At all events, M. Brayer, the very active Commissioner of Police in Boulogne, is using every exertion to find him, and the police are on the alert in every direction. M. Brayer has telegraphed to London, Folkestone, Dovir, Calais, and other places in France, with the following description of Leduc :—lle is of small stature I thin face, brown hair, small moustache,:and wears a dark brown paletot, ditto trousers (ragged at the bottom) a broadebrimmed, low, dark or black Jim Crow hat, 7he children seemed to have belonged to the Letter class of artiz char, Sk 1 stack Stook stock I'o gtook stook stock stock stook stock stook stock atoc► stock stook 1021 1t.,3,i 66 5 55 i ~~ IF
